Rough version of MagazineKurt Plumb

This was the rough version of the magazine. This didn’t look professional and in fact because of the way the colours were used made this look amateur and a magazine for young kids, with the school like theme of colours. Plus the photo did not benefit being small with big shots of film above, not giving us an impression that the main picture could be identified easily. The font also didn’t seem to fit, whilst there was a lot of spaces unoccupied and not useful with the black background colour.

After starting a second draft we realized there was no need to overload the magazine with too many colours, and made the picture big so that it would appeal to the reader more by being seen easily and identified as the main focus. The statistics worked in the shape of the torch, whilst making the pictures smaller at the side helped it look less messy then the previous version. The cover lines were placed higher up, as this is what film magazines usually appear to have structure wise. The date price and issue number was placed underneath the masthead in a subtle way. Overall it just looked more interesting then the first draft and more professional.
